A portable terminal in which the labor in inputting plural characters and a variety of information can be relieved in case limitations are imposed on the number of available keys. The portable terminal includes an LCDa memoryfor storing the dictionary information comprised of plural words and exemplary sentences, a key input unitfor inputting unit characters, a CPUfor retrieving from the memory the words and/or exemplary sentences displayed on the LCDbased on the input from the key input unitand/or on the character string already finalized, and a jog dialA desired word and/or exemplary sentence is selected from the plural words and/or exemplary sentences retrieved by the CPUresponsive to rotation of the jog dialand displayed on the LCDand the information on the finalized character string is generated.

Portable terminal, method for inputting the information, method and apparatus for dictionary retrieval and medium

An image pickup system that is small in scale, handy to maneuver, easy to operate and advanced in editing capabilities is disclosed. A commander device is used both as a remote commander and as a microphone in operating a video camera for image pickup. Wearing a headset on the head, a user looks at images appearing on a headset display to monitor and verify recorded images without recourse to a view finder of the video camera. Functions of the components making up the system are changed by operation of a mode switch attached to the video camera.

Video camera system having remote commander

The present invention is concerned with an audio equipment capable of processing video signals and a method of displaying operation of the acoustic equipment. An input selector switchis supplied with reproduced audio signals from devices connected to a tuner unitand input terminals, and supplies a signal to a sound field processing DSP unit. A signal processed by the DSP unitis applied through a muting switchto an output terminal. An input selector switchis supplied with reproduced video signals from devices connected to input terminals, and supplies a signal to a graphic controller (GDC)which generates a video signal to display an image. One of a signal generated by the GDCand an original video signal are selected by a switch, and applied to an output terminal. The GDCalso generates an image simulating a control panel. When a key switchis operated, the display corresponding to the operated key in the simulating image is varied.

Audio equipment and method of displaying operation thereof

A method of three-dimensionally rotating a plurality of menus displayed in an ordered stack on a display unit of a portable telephone. The method displays the plurality of menus three-dimensionally on the display unit according to the ordered stack. The menu displayed in front is a current menu and the remainder of the menus are displayed in order behind the current menu. A menu rotation direction is selected and the plurality of menus are rotated in the menu rotation direction in accordance with the ordered stack. In this manner, the next menu in the ordered stack is rotated in the menu rotation direction to the front and becomes the current menu.

Information processing device, item display method, program storage medium

A microprocessor of the motor control apparatus acquires a zero-cross detection signal from a zero-cross detection section and a load current from a current detection section at a prescribed sampling period. The processor obtains a load current instant value every sampling period and a corresponding sine-functional value from a sine-functional value table to calculate a compensation value for the load current instant value. The processor also calculates a load current compensation total value by adding the compensation value by the predetermined number of times of sampling and compares the load current compensation total value with a load current reference value to obtain a difference therebetween. In response to the difference, an instruction value for delay time that determines the output timing of a trigger signal to a switching element is changed so that power consumption of the motor falls within a prescribed range.

Field magnets are attached to an inner periphery of a stator core, which defines a rotor through hole. The stator core has a plurality of recesses open to the rotor through hole. Each recess faces magnet end portions of the field magnets. The recess surface of the recess is away from the surface AC of the magnet end portion and set back toward an outer periphery of the stator core from a rear surface AD of the magnet end portion.

Direct current motor having field magnets formed by injection molding synthetic resin, with which magnetic particles are mixed, to the inner periphery of the stator core

The present invention is concerned with an audio equipment capable of processing video signals and a method of displaying operation of the acoustic equipment. An input selector switch 1 is supplied with reproduced audio signals from devices connected to a tuner unit 2 and input terminals 3, and supplies a signal to a sound field processing DSP unit 4. A signal processed by the DSP unit 4 is applied through a muting switch 5 to an output terminal 6. An input selector switch 7 is supplied with reproduced video signals from devices connected to input terminals 8, and supplies a signal to a graphic controller (GDC) 9 which generates a video signal to display an image. One of a signal generated by the GDC 9 and an original video signal are selected by a switch 10, and applied to an output terminal 11. The GDC 9 also generates an image simulating a control panel. When a key switch 13 is operated, the display corresponding to the operated key in the simulating image is varied.
